Plumbing Installation Guidelines
1. Remove outer screws at the bottom and at the top of boiler and carefully open the front cover.
2. The boiler is wall hung and must be installed in a vertical position where plumbing connections are located
at the bottom. Utilize key holes slots to hang the boiler. Refer to diagram on clearances (page 5).
3. The boiler is provided with a 3/8” air vent located on top of the heat exchanger. It is designed to collect and
remove air. Ensure plastic drain tubing remains in place and exits the boiler in the lower right corner.
4. The boiler is equipped with a pre-charged at expansion tank located on the back housing of the boiler.
Instructions for the installer
Expansion tank has a Shrader valve, which location
is shown on the gure. This gure presents the
bottom view of the boiler. Access to the valve is
only from the bottom of the boiler. From there it
can be connected any pressure gauge to check the
pressure or pump to rell the air inside the tank.
5. The boiler is equipped with an ASME approved 30
psi automatic safety pressure relief valve. Install the
necessary length of ¾” copper piping from the relief
valve to within 6” of the oor to prevent personal
injury or water damage to surrounding area.
6. Observe inlet return piping (blue) and outlet supply
feed piping (red) connections. Install full way shut
Shrader valve
off valves below inlet and outlet connections before plumbing the boiler to the hydronic heating system.
DO NOT reverse these connections to the radiant supply and return manifolds. Optional temperature or
pressure gauges can be installed below the boiler if desired.
7. Install a boiler drain valve(s) as necessary to aid in lling, purging and draining of unit and the related system
components.
8. Water supply feed or pressure reducing valve can be installed to comply with local building codes. Local
codes may require a back ow preventer called a check valve when installing a xed domestic water supply
line to the boiler.
9. When possible, ll the boiler and hydronic system with treated water. (i.e. soft or distilled water) This will
substantially extend the life of the heating elements and reduce sediment buildup.
10. Freeze protection additives can be added. Only use propylene glycol type freeze protection products for
hydronic heating systems that are non-toxic and corrosion resistant.
The propylene glycol mix shall not exceed 50%, by volume. ! Under no circumstance should methanol or
ethylene glycol (automobile antifreeze) be added to the boiler system as this may damage internal components.
11. Insure purging of all air throughout boiler system and related components.
12. This boiler requires a minimum pressure of 7 psi in order to operate. Pressure levels for hydronic systems
typically are above the pre-charged expansion tank pressure level (12 psi).
If additional pressure gauges are installed verify reading as described on item 7.
13. The boiler is equipped with a pressure differential bypass valve. This allows the minimum ow rate to pass
through the boiler when all zone valves are closed. The valve will also help reduce noise issues upon closing
of zone valves or actuators.
To adjust: Turn valve clockwise all the way until it stops. Turn on
all heating zones and let run for a couple of minutes. Once the
return piping is hot slowly turn the bypass valve clockwise. This
opens the valve, feel the piping coming out of bypass valve, once
it starts getting hot stop turning the valve. This is referred to the
tipping point. Turn the valve clockwise for one complete turn. This
will place the valve just above tipping point.
14. Proceed to the Electrical Installation.
